A Special Thanks

Much of what happens to us is out of our control but there are moments when we are faced with a fork in the road. It is at these moments where we take the wisdom both directly and indirectly from those in our lives and try and make the best choice. When we don't we use their words of encouragement and love to correct it. In summary these are those people in my life. 

Joyce Mallon

Taught me...

I'm never alone and that I should never settle for anything less than what I deserve

 Joyce & Papa Lohman

Taught me...

I can always be a kid, love can grow from unexpected places, and a hard exterior can have a soft interior.

Ni​c Bradley

Taught...

Sometimes bad things must happen for great one to occur

Dominic Brack

Taught me...

The opposite of love is not hate but indifference. Which we'll never be

Sarah Brack

Taught me...

The signs to look for that I've gone the wrong path and it's not what we've done its what we do with it that makes us who we are. 

Eli Brack

Taught me...

My actions have greater influence than I'll ever know, that a savior can come from the least likely of places, and more every day

Matt Hurley

Taught me...

That love is total happiness and bliss but also extreme pain and agony and given the chance you'd do it all over again.

Papa Bear

Taught me...

The ability to think unlike most people and not to care what anyone thinks of my singing. To share as much as you can as long as it doesn't hinder you and your ability to share. That no matter how hard it is you must sometimes stay strong for the ones you love around you. 

Mommy

Taught me...

That sometimes no matter how unpopular you may be, if you know in your heart something is wrong you have to be part of the solution. Never to be intimidated by anyone, just picture them when they were five and you'll feel nothing but compassion. That your heart is not divided by the amount of people you love, but multiplied every time you love someone new. 

Half of their DNA may have gone to form my double helix but %100 of both their souls formed my spirit.
